NO i haven't done a mindmap because I haven't been absorbing enough information to do so.There you go. You've already 'absorbed' the information. 
You need to bring it to conscious memory. You are approaching a mind map as if it is a finished product. It is not... it's a building process. Whatever you get out of an activation session... however small make a note of it... you inner mind then has the opportunity to respond and show you what else you found. This is really something you must try and see. By failing to start making a mind map you are blocking yourself and making the whole process take a lot longer than necessary.
If you saw the mind map that I created for my experiment I'd get an F 
... it breaks so many rules, yet it served the purpose of helping me to hone in on the information.
Mind maps are good when they are done to 'your own rules'. Not everyone likes them nor does everyone work well with them. So modify and do what suits you. Even writing points on 3x5 cards is better than no record... it's the interaction between your conscious mind and inner mind that needs to be trained and that is an active process not a passive one. Putting something in writing is like poking a small hole in a dyke it's surprising how fast it begins to flow once you have an opening!
